MISSION VILLA

My aunt was in need of a place where she could find some peace and camaraderie. The experience at Mission Villa for our family, near and far, has been that of honesty and integrity. Living in the ethos of beautiful Santa Barbara with its fresh delicious food, pleasant weather, and kind people has made Mission Villa a new home base. Thanks so much to the team there!

Mission Villa has been a safe and loving home for both my parents. But it has been much more than that. I have found an encouraging support network for my whole family. The friendly staff are adept at providing differentiated care. They are observant and respond quickly when help is needed. With kindness they gently assist and encourage. Visits are always welcomed and for those who can participate, activities such as puzzles and crafts are provided. Meals are prepared with each person’s preferences, limitations and dietary needs in mind. Morning Tea is my personal favorite, with a cookie of course. And when I can come to the weekly special guests, I always enjoy myself, singing along or applauding the performances.

The caregiving staff at Mission Villa recognize each residents different individual needs and truly offers compassionate care and attention. Communication between families, residents, staff and owners are always welcome either by appointment and/or open door. The Mission Villa residence is always clean and well maintained. The indoor space offers a family atmosphere in addition to quiet areas to enjoy visitation. Easy one level mobility throughout allow for a nice flow for residents, guests and staff. A furnished outdoor shaded patio and garden are enjoyed frequently in the ideal Santa Barbara weather. The residents meals are nutritionally balanced and well planned. The kitchen design and layout add to the overall comfort of feeling welcome at home. The excellent care our Parent receives at Mission Villa gives dignity, and comfort in his final years of life.

Mom has lived at Mission Villa for the past two years and I am grateful to the staff and administrators for how they care for mom. What makes Mission Villa exceptional are the people who take care of the residents. The staff (owners, administrators, caregivers and cooks) fully understand how to treat and care for an individual with Alzheimers/Dementia. I can trust that mom is given dignity, respect and shown compassion and love as she travels this journey. I also have peace of mind knowing mom is safe and well cared for in my absence. They truly have become my extended family. I highly recommend Mission Villa as a place for your loved one when they need assisted care. They are an answer to prayer!

Mission Villa is now home to my mother for almost a year. I spent many months visiting other facilities in the area. Once I walked through the doors I knew this was the place for us! Every time I visit mom is happy and well cared for. Loved ones are always welcome and encouraged to visit. The environment is cheerful, clean and warm. Mission Villa has become extended family, from owner to care givers. They are kind, trustworthy and greatly appreciated! I highly recommend Mission Villa if you are in need of a safe and nurturing environment for your loved one.
